Why I was a lad, we had plans for a soda can "un-toaster". We had a
bunch of Peltier effect cooling modules from the local surplus yard, and
the idea was to make a clamping arrangement with four of them to suck the
heat out of a soda can. It would have drawn about 240 Watts. The
crowning touch was to be a lever arrangement to lower the can against a
spring so it would pop up when it was cool.

Many years later, I finally have an adequate shop & skills to build the
mechanism, but no time & no Peltier modules.

Sounds pretty much like the 60 Watt wine chiller I bought for $3 a
couple Saturdays back - took a 1 litre bottle of water from room
temperature to freezing in about 3 hours.

Hmm ... glass container? Mess? (And what is the freezing point
of wine instead of water?)

Enjoy,
DoN.
